"At that time I was only 24, my life was gloomy, ill-regulated, and as solitary as that of a savage". Brilliant

[@brynawaldman5790]

The writing is brilliant? I agree. The meaning of the sentence? "Savages;" hunting gatherers; live in strong, small communities (FWIW), and aren't "gloomy" unless their societies were destroyed by colonialism. They weren't "ill-regulated.". I think Doesteyevsky was a brilliant author, but he was also burdened by many of the prejudices of his time & place.

[@user-03-gsa3]

@@brynawaldman5790 generally happiness in hunter gatherer societies is based on food. the best kind of food usually being meat. the happiest day in a young man's life is his biggest hunt. if you're a hunter gatherer and you can't provide food for your tribe for the day you're unhappy, if that happens continually you'll be "gloomy" and hungry. also, he didnt apply those previous qualities to a savage, only "solitary". you want to fit some idea here but I dont think it is that accurate. it's important to note this wasn't written in English. there are multiple meanings to the word "savage" both in english and in russian. when he used this word originally im assuming he was probably thinking more of a person surviving in a harsh cold climate inside of a cabin for a very long time.

[@andrewg1210]

I've listened to a little over a dozen LibriVox audiobooks on KZbin, and the reader of this one stands out as the best so far. The audio quality is crystal clear, and he speaks just as clearly. He never once stutters (except when it's in-character to do so intentionally) or fumbles over a word. He pronounces all words perfectly, including words in different languages; in a LibriVox recording of one of Nietzsche's works, the narrator butchered anything in French, but this narrator nails the pronunciation of every word as far as I can tell. When reading, he conveys emotion and vocally differentiates between characters without overdoing it; it's always at an appropriate level where it's engaging but never distracting. The speed is virtually perfect as well--I often end up adjusting the playback speed on these to 1.5× or sometimes even 2× because many readers go excessively slow, but I did not find that necessary in this one. Finally, the reader just has a great voice in general, and it is a pleasure to listen to him. Fantastic job!

So this is the guy working the front desk at the DMV who tells everyone “they didn’t bring the correct documents” and sends them home after waiting 45 minutes in line

[@kylekissack4633]

LMAO he hated and judged everyone.. who he thought..he was invisible too? But also worried about what they thought of him strange man.. he hated himself and yet had an enflated view of himself

[@mnemonicpie]

yes but without creative part

[@goatrockhunters7866]

The most real thing one can do is to spend a night in the cold woods. Nothing but a blanket to keep you warm. Wake in the morning with frost on you clothes and then sit and wait for the sun to finally come. You’ll find that is the coldest part of the morning. To be freezing yet feel the sun on your face.

The unloved love only themselves even as they 'love' others.

[@ArihantChawla]

@B K It means that the longing to be loved drives them to love others in hope of reciprocity

[@supermario162008]

@@ArihantChawla not quite. It means that the unloved only "love" others because of the feeling that it brings themselves.

[@ArihantChawla]

@@supermario162008 Could be both, given it's Dostoevsky. But I had that interpretation when I first read it. Ofc Bob Nuefeld who reads this version had a closer interpretation to yours.

This book was hilarious, and so well narrated

And here I thought that I was the only one. Not sure why it’s so hilarious. Maybe the narrator is a natural comic.

Absurd and dark humor

[@lauratanner8475]

@@jeancampbell4341 so many low key jokes, and the overall tone is hilarious. "I warn you my friend is a compound personality so it is hard to blame him as an individual" 😆 one of my favorites!

[@DEE-ee4jw]

@@jeancampbell4341 It is the irony that is funny. Dostoyevsky is brilliant and dark it’s true, but he also has humor within. That is fantastic when I consider his life.

This book literally feels like the narrator is going on one massive monologue just to get things off his chest like a rapper doing a freestyle. Sheesh, I felt him

Just read the description of the underground man because of some post I saw on Instagram, and the description I read of him matched me so well I was shocked.

[@sofieblicher9308]

I dont mind that society is stuck in a daydream, i mind that i woke up from it. I think its best to be clueless, i dont think its healthy to realize the true pontlesness of society and life. I dont wanna wake anyone, but at the same time i need someone to talk to.

[@thenew4559]

Maybe become like Dostoevsky and adopt religion, or some form of spirituality. Society may be pointless, but life is not.

[@SaiSunday]

I'm not sure it's appropriate to say you woke up if you see it all as meaningless. I don't believe that is enlightenment, I believe it is self sabotage. Dig further.

[@zmonk901]

Dostoyevsky’s entire point of this fiction was to show the importance and necessity of spirituality, specifically Christianity, for humanity.

[@SamuelBlack84]

I've never understood the countless times I've tried to explain this mentality to others only to have them reject me and tell me that I still think like a moody teenager and that I should grow up But in the land of the blind the man with one eye is not king Many like to be blind, ignorant, and content to be plugged into the Matrix It would mean admitting their own dependence on the daydream Plus, it's just easier to join in with the herd and quietly chew the grass

[@Volition-is-offline]

Why do I relate so well with this protagonist I’m a little worried

[@foxirelle8841]

it's like watching Taxi Driver, you know that the protagonist is a bad person, you know that you shouldn't sympathize with or relate to them, but in some sick, profound way, part of you still does of course, nobody else would ever admit to such a thing, because they're all ashamed to show a side of emotional vulnerability and moral questionability, and it's all to easy to point fingers and blame others than to look inward at our own persona, why we relate to these morally corrupt characters of course, as long as you realize that these characters are bad people, and you don't intentionally look up to them, I think that's at the very least, a step in the right direction

[@mmennonno]

The reader is exceptional. Like listening to Moira Rose reading Dostoyevsky. Magnificent.
